Activity 4

Now can you create your own full sentences about the garden using all 5 senses.

Remember to include the following

• Adjectives (describing words)
• All five senses
• A range of vocabulary
• Full stops, capital letters and finger spaces.

If you feel like a challenge, can you include at least two adjectives per noun like the examples above to make a 2A sentence?  E.g. The succulent, dewy flowers smelt strong as I walked along the hard, cobbled path.

Activity 5

Finally, create your own setting description. This could be based on this picture, your own garden or a place you have visited on a walk.

Make sure that you use

• All 5 senses
• Adjectives
• Your imagination
• Full stops, capital letters and finger spaces

Once finished, perhaps you could read it to someone and see if they can draw your setting. Does it look like you imagined?

Remember – the more detailed your description the easier the person should find drawing it!
